Michael “the Grinder” Mizrachi Eliminates Brother Robert Mizrachi at Final Table

Overview
The inaugural Poker Players Championship was won by Michael “the Grinder” Mizrachi. He has been one of the most successful tournament pros over the last six years, now with nearly $9 million in accumulated tournament winnings.
Mizrachi had previously won just about every major title in poker except a WSOP gold bracelet. Today, he achieved that milestone by pulling off a masterful victory in the biggest buy-in tournament of the year.

The final table included Mizrachi playing against his brother Robert Mizrachi, who ended up finishing fifth. This marked the highest finish by two family members in WSOP history. Three different nations were represented at the final table, including the United States, Sweden, and Russia. “The Grinder,” cheered on by much of the Mizrachi family, won $1,559,046. In addition to the coveted WSOP gold bracelet, Mizrachi was also presented with the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy.

The 2010 Poker Players Championship winner is Michael “the Grinder” Mizrachi, from Miramar, FL.
Mizrachi is age 29. He was born in Miami, FL.

Mizrachi is a professional poker player. He has been playing full-time since 2004. Prior to playing poker, Mizrachi was a college student. He was studying to become a doctor, but decided instead to pursue a poker career. Mizrachi is married. He has three children.

Mizrachi’s father is of Iraqi-Jewish decent. Mizrachi and most of his family are fluent in Hebrew.
Although Mizrachi has been one of poker’s top tournament players over the past several years, he has run poorly during the past year or so. Mizrachi’s financial pressures were widely-documented in the media and in various social media networks. The personal setbacks created enormous tension coming into this year’s WSOP. However, Mizrachi remained focused and won what many consider to be not only the toughest competition in poker, but one of the most prestigious, as well.

Prior to this event, Mizrachi had won just about every major title in poker except a WSOP gold bracelet. Mizrachi was Card Player Magazine’s “Player of the Year” in 2006.

Mizrachi’s first recorded tournament cash took place in March 2004.

Mizrachi collected $1,559,046 for first place in the 2010 Poker Players Championship. He was presented with his first WSOP gold bracelet.

According to official records, Mizrachi now has 20 cashes, four final table appearances, and one win. His career WSOP earnings now total $2,156,322.

Mizrachi’s last WSOP-related cash took place more than a year ago in the WSOP Circuit Main Event championship held at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. He finished second in that tournament.

Mizrachi is called “the Grinder” due to his never-give-up mentality. Mizrachi certainly does not fit the mold of the traditional poker grinder, however. The term is usually meant to describe a tight player. Mizrachi is actually one of poker’s most aggressive and unpredictable tournament pros.

Other members of the Mizrachi family have adopted the “Grinder” moniker. His is married to Mrs. Grinder. His mother is Mama Grinder. His children each have been called Baby Grinder at various times.

Mizrachi stated he followed the advice of some other poker pros -- including J.C. Tran, Mike Matusow, and Robert Mizrachi. At one point when things were not going well at the final table and Mizrachi was on a break, Matusow encouraged Mizrachi to do jumping jacks in a back hallway to keep the blood flowing during the long tournament. Mizrachi is the younger brother of fellow tournament pro Robert Mizrachi, a former WSOP gold bracelet winner. mWww Nudeactressworld En Mark Mangold Nude Actress World Event #2 - WSOP PLAYERS Mark CHAMPIONSHIP.
